Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An electronic device, comprising: an electronic display configured to display a frame of image data during an active frame duration; and processing circuitry configured to: generate a leader synchronize signal used to synchronize a timing controller to the processing circuitry, wherein the timing controller is configured to control the electronic display; and send a configuration associated with the frame to the timing controller at a certain time, during a blanking period preceding the active frame duration, before a display time when the frame begins to be displayed on the electronic display during the active frame duration, wherein the frame is configured to be displayed on the electronic display based on the configuration, wherein the configuration comprises intra frame pause information.

2

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the intra frame pause information comprises an intra frame pause location and length, wherein the configuration comprises a duration of the frame, foveation information, brightness data, or any combination thereof.

3

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein a time period from the certain time to the display time is within a vertical blanking time of the electronic display.

4

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the leader synchronize signal is used to indicate an end of a duration of the frame.

5

5. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the duration of the frame comprises a flexible time period, wherein the flexible time period is related to a frame rate of the frame.

6

6. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein the duration of the frame comprises a fixed time period, wherein the fixed time period is a common value for every frame displayed on the electronic display.

7

7. The electronic device of claim 4, wherein a common line time is used for every frame displayed on the electronic display.

8

8. An electronic device, comprising: control circuitry configured to: monitor a change of a first parameter associated with a temperature on an electronic display; in response to the change of the first parameter being greater than a threshold value, calculate a coefficient indicative of a relationship between a driving voltage and a driving current of a display pixel on the electronic display based on the temperature and determine a second parameter associated with displaying a first active frame on the electronic display based on the coefficient; control the electronic display to display the first active frame based on the second parameter; and send out an interrupt signal; and processing circuitry configured to: receive the interrupt signal from the control circuitry; and within a threshold period after receiving the interrupt signal, read the coefficient from the control circuitry and determine a third parameter based on the coefficient, wherein the third parameter is associated with processing image data of a second active frame to be displayed on the electronic display, wherein the first active frame is displayed on the electronic display before the second active frame.

9

9. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the change of the first parameter is detected by a reference array on the electronic display.

10

10. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the control circuitry is synchronized to the processing circuitry for every frame displayed on the electronic display by utilizing a leader synchronize signal generated by a leader synchronize signal generator of the processing circuitry.

11

11. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the second parameter comprises a gamma tap voltage (Vtap) value.

12

12. The electronic device of claim 11, wherein the third parameter comprises a lookup table.

13

13. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to: calculate a first gamma setting based on the coefficient within the threshold period; and apply the first gamma setting to an active frame of the electronic display.

14

14. The electronic device of claim 13, wherein the control circuitry is configured to: calculate a second gamma setting based on the coefficient after receiving a signal from the processing circuitry, wherein the signal is sent in a vertical blanking period; and apply the second gamma setting to the active frame of the electronic display.

15

15. The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the second parameter is different from the third parameter.

16

16. A method comprising: generating, via a leader synchronize signal generator in a processing circuitry of an electronic device, a leader synchronize signal used to synchronize a timing controller to the processing circuitry, wherein the timing controller is configured to control an electronic display; and sending, via the processing circuitry through a communication interface, a configuration associated with a frame, to the timing controller at a certain time, during a blanking period preceding an active frame duration, before a display time when the frame begins to be displayed on the electronic display during the active frame duration, wherein the timing controller is configured to cause the frame to be displayed on the electronic display based on the configuration, wherein the configuration comprises intra frame pause information.

17

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the intra frame pause information comprises an intra frame pause location and length, wherein the configuration comprises a duration of the frame, foveation information, brightness data, or any combination thereof.

18

18. The method of claim 16, wherein a time period from the certain time to the display time is within a vertical blanking time of the electronic display.

19

19. The method of claim 16, comprising: detecting, via the timing controller, a change of a parameter associated with a temperature on the electronic display; in response to the change of the parameter being greater than a threshold value, calculating, via the timing controller, a coefficient indicative of a relationship between a driving voltage and a driving current of a display pixel on the electronic display based on the temperature; sending, via the timing controller through a second communication interface, an interrupt signal to the processing circuitry; and within a threshold period after the processing circuitry receives the interrupt signal, reading, via the processing circuitry, the coefficient from the timing controller.

20

20. The method of claim 19, comprising: within the threshold period after the processing circuitry receives the interrupt signal, updating a mapping relationship in the processing circuitry using the coefficient.
